...by phone or over the web, customers using SUSE Linux Enterprise benefitted from the best customer support on the market. In addition, this article also recognized that for the fourth year in a row, Novell has been named “Best Web Support” by the Association of Support Professionals. This study gathered the opinions of technical personnel at companies who have used Linux support services provided by Novell, Oracle, and Red Hat within the previous 12 months. This reported that out of the users rating percentages for these three distributions, Novell was 71 percent, which was 6 percent higher than Oracle users and 10 percent higher than Red Hat users. It also showed the differences for mixed-platform environments, which were even more pronounced. Novel was rated a 7 or higher by 70 percent of respondents, compared to 59 percent for Red Hat and 44 percent for Oracle. It goes on to recognize that Novell technical support personnel are highly knowledgeable and experienced to produce one of the best technical support and services organizations. Furthermore, the Association of Service Professionals recently named Novell as one of the top 10 companies for best web support in 2010. Markus Rex, senior vice president and general manager of Open Platform Solutions at Novell, said, "Novell is an innovative company that continues to offer the best products and services available to its customers and partners. We are proud of our technical support organization for maintaining...

...possible to retrieve the source code of the next release 2 months after it was ready for purchase. SUSE Linux strategy was to create a technically superior Linux distribution with the large number of employed engineers, that would make users willing to pay for their distribution in retail stores. Since the acquisition by Novell in 2003 and with the advent of openSUSE this has been reversed: starting with version 9.2, an unsupported 1 DVD ISO image of SUSE Professional was made available for download as well as a bootable Live DVD evaluation. The FTP server continues to operate and has the advantage of "streamlined" installs: Only downloading packages the user feels they need. The ISO has the advantages of an easy install package, the ability to operate even if the user's network card does not work "out of the box", and less experience needed (i.e., an inexperienced Linux user may not know whether or not to install a certain package, and the ISO offers several preselected sets of packages). The initial stable release from the openSUSE Project, SUSE Linux 10.0, was available for download just before the retail release of SUSE Linux 10.0. In addition, Novell discontinued the Personal version, renaming the Professional version to simply "SUSE Linux", and repricing "SUSE Linux" to about the same as the old Personal version. As of version 10.2, the SUSE Linux distribution was officially renamed to openSUSE. Over the years, SuSE Linux...

...Linux GUI, 45 from the FOSS Open Source Suite, and 15 dealing with FOSS email programs (Microsoft's Smith and Gutierrez, 2007). Since this issue in 2006, FOSS has prospered beyond belief. Not only has FOSS survived, but it has grown enormously. Also in 2006, Microsoft signed a deal with Novell, agreeing that neither would sue the other (Upfold, 2006). Instead of fighting the FOSS business model Microsoft chose to instead join them with Novell's SuSE Linux model. Novell and Microsoft worked together in an attempt to collaborate with both open and closed source software. Their main competitor was Red Hat, who also was working on their own Linux system. Even more recently, Novell sold 882 patents to CPTN Holdings LLC in 2011. Upon the transaction, CPTN would dissolve itself. The patents were split up and purchased by Apple (25%), EMC (25%), Oracle (25%), and Novell's parent company Attachmate (25%). Another agreement of the deal allowed all companies involved to be free of any suits stemming from all 882 patents (Fosspatents blog, 2011). Microsoft was not negatively affected by the deal as they would essentially co-own the 25% share of patents Attachmate would recieve, as their deal with Novell allowed. This deal would allow FOSS continued growth full speed ahead. Today, all smart phones and many other devices, such as Ipads, run on some version of FOSS. Our government and military use many different versions of FOSS as well. The NSA created their own upgrades to FOSS, such as...

...wanted Microsoft to work out the patent issues directly with the commercial distributors like Red Hat and Novell. (Red Hat has about 65 percent of the paid Linux server market, according to IDC, while Novell has 26 percent.) Microsoft and Novell agreed not to sue each other's customers for patent infringement. That would be okay, because it's something that the GPL does not address. On those terms, Novell agreed to give Microsoft a percentage of all its Linux revenue through 2011 (or a minimum of $40 million). The pact also included a marketing collaboration. Microsoft agreed to pay Novell $240 million for "coupons" that it could then resell to customers (theoretically for a profit), who would, in turn, trade them in for subscriptions to Novell's Linux server software. In addition, Microsoft gave Novell another $108 million as a "balancing payment" in connection with the patent part of the deal. It might seem counterintuitive that Microsoft would end up paying millions to Novell when Microsoft is the one trying to get royalties for its patents. Microsoft's explanation is that this balancing payment was calculated as it would be in any cross-licensing deal: Novell has valuable network-computing patents that Microsoft products may infringe, and since Microsoft's products bring in so much more revenue than Novell's, Microsoft owed a balance. Microsoft and Novell unveiled their...

...Date: March 22, 2012 To: Mrs. Depano From: Joffrey A. Peji Subject: Web access to Novell Group Wise, Pegasus Mail, Lotus Notes and Mozilla Novel Group Wise GroupWise can operate on a number of server and workstation platforms. Server platforms include NetWare, Linux, and Windows. One client runs on Microsoft Windows platforms, and a Java client operates on Linux and on Mac OS X. Novell has delivered closer client-feature parity in GroupWise 8.[1] There are also GroupWise connectors for Microsoft Outlook and Novell Evolution. The basic features of this is a messaging and collaborative software platform from Novell that supports email, calendaring, personal information management, instant messaging, and document management. The platform consists of the client software, which is available for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux, and the server software, which is supported on Windows Server, NetWare, and Linux. The latest generation of the platform is GroupWise 2012. Pegasus Mail (PMail) is suitable for single or multiple users on stand-alone computers and for internal and Internet mail on local area networks. Pegasus Mail has minimal system requirements compared with competing products, for instance the installed program (excluding mailboxes) for version 4.52 requires only around 13.5 MB of hard drive space. Since Pegasus Mail does not make changes to the Windows registry or the system directory, it is suitable as a portable application for USB drives. Language packs are available...

...Cover Page Kashif Tahir Research Assignment Lesson 8 Professor Espinoza ISM4220 Active Tree three for a hypothetical organization with multiple departments The difference between Active Directory Tree and NDS: The concept of using directory services in networked computing environments is not new. For example, many companies have implemented white pages using first-generation directories to make basic information about employees (for example, location, e-mail address and telephone number) available across the organization. E-mail applications have provided directories in the form of address books to simplify the process of finding people and sending them e-mail. In addition, products such as Novell's NetWare have shown that it is possible to simplify basic management tasks by including a directory service as part of their offering. With the increase of distributed computing based on Internet technologies, however, the role that most companies need directory services to play is changing. Directory services must be capable of being used in all of the following roles: * User and network resource management—by providing a scalable, hierarchical information repository to simplify tasks such as delegating administrative privileges and locating network resources such as printers * Security authentication and authorization services—by providing flexible authentication and consistent authorization services that minimize barriers to doing business over the Internet...

...ACTIVE DIRECTORY HEALTH CHECK One of the most critical and challenging aspects of today’s networked computing environments is ensuring that all network services are functioning optimally. The Accudata Systems Network Health Checks proactively examine your network resources to determine the health of your environment and that all resources are readily available and performing as expected. Why should you perform a Microsoft® Active Directory® Health Check? A directory service is the main switchboard of a network operating system. It manages the identities and brokers the relationships between distributed resources so that they can work together. Further, a directory service is a place to store information about corporate and organizational assets such as applications, files, printers, and users. It provides a consistent method for naming, describing, locating, accessing, managing, and securing information about the resources. Microsoft Active Directory was designed to be feature-rich, flexible, and scalable. Active Directory requires a considerable investment of time during the initial planning and design stages as well as throughout the life of the network. As the networking environment changes, it is critical to ensure that Active Directory continues to function as required. Some of the areas of Active Directory that often require attention include: Schema or Global Catalog replications do not occur optimally, causing intermittent directory problems FSMO roles...
